In recent years, laser dentistry has superseded many traditional dentistry practices, making treatments more precise and less painful. This newer style of dentistry utilizes intense beams of light projected by a dental laser. Dental lasers can be used to perform a wide variety of treatments, including soft tissue shaping and removal.

The FDA deemed laser dentistry to be safe for public usage in 1990. Since then, many dentists have incorporated dental lasers into everyday procedures reducing bleeding, anxiety and post-treatment recovery times. The beauty of dental lasers is that they damage far less of the surrounding tissue than traditional techniques which means less discomfort and pain.

Laser dentistry is incredibly versatile and plays an important role in a growing number of common dental procedures. Though laser dentistry is most notably associated with cosmetic treatments, it is equally effective for preventative purposes.

  • Tooth preparation Prior to laser dentistry, a drill would be required to prepare the tooth for a filling. Lasers can now completely eliminate the need for drilling and anesthesia. Lasers also successfully kill oral bacteria around the surgical site.
  • Reshaping soft tissue Dental lasers can dissolve soft tissue to expose more of the natural tooth (crown lengthening), reshape soft tissue to make gummy smiles more attractive, and remove uncomfortable soft tissue folds caused by denture wear.
  • Different types of dental laser have been created to treat different conditions. Each laser uses a different wavelength of light, which predicates its best use. The most common types of dental laser are carbon dioxide lasers and diode lasers, which are usually employed to treat soft tissue problems. The dentist will decide which type of laser is best to use after conducting X-rays and a thorough examination.

    The laser beam is extremely bright, and special glasses will be provided to protect the eyes. The dentist will then direct the beam at the affected area and carefully dissolve the soft tissue, harden the filling or whiten the teeth.

    I have been going to Winnetka Dental my entire life. The staff is like family to me. I recently saw Dr Oleari for a crown reattachment. He was so kind and soothed my dental work anxiety. The next day he personally called to check on me. I'm so grateful for the kindness and professionalism they have always shown me.

    Dr Joshua Oleari is the kind, ultra-competent dentist you have been looking for. He saw me immediately after hours and found that I needed an emergency root canal. He sent X-rays to a nearby trusted endodontist, and that doctor also took care of me after hours. Needless to say, I have a new dentist now. You'll be glad you sought out Dr Oleari for your dental care!
